Abstract

We study the performance of a transmission scheme employing random Gaussian codebooks and nearest neighbor decoding over a power limited additive non-Gaussian noise channel. We show that the achievable rates depend on the noise distribution only via its power and thus coincide with the capacity region of a white Gaussian noise channel with signal and noise power equal to those of the original channel. The results are presented for single-user channels as well as multiple-access channels, and are extended to fading channels with side information at the receiver
